Coming from a western dance background I tend to wanna stay on my toes. It's been a little difficult transitioning my weight towards my heels. Sometimes I even feel like I'll fall over, which makes some of my movements a little stiff in fear of losing my balance. In class I'm okay because I have a teacher to constantly remind me and encourage me. Whereas at home, I can't seem to commit to a few moves. I even find myself reverting to ballet feet in the middle of practicing. I also feel it's making me heavier on my feet? I'm normally very quiet and sometimes shy, so i.e. when I do choo choo shimmies, I blush and have to stop. I feel like I'm going to bring down the house lol.*
So my point is, am I too far back on my heels? Am I supposed to make some noise? Or am I just being overly self-conscious? I don't know what would have made me this way all of sudden. Sometimes I feel like I started this dance form too late. Or that I'll never be good. Maybe I'm just discouraging myself?
